Internet Access over Mesh network
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2019 12:25 pm
Hello Experts,
I am very new to the ESP32 Mesh. However designing following solution using Mesh,
1. Have a wifi router with internet connection over broadband. It allows other devices to connect to internet using wifi
2. Create a Mesh using ESP32 modules as shown in attached diagram
3. The Root node is connected to wifi router and have internet connectivity through router
4. There are multiple nodes in Mesh connected to root node and have internet connection over mesh network.
5. All the mesh nodes should work as access point and allow other devices such as mobile to have internet access. Mobiles should be able to use the internet through Mesh Node seamlessly.
Questions:
1. Is this feasible using ESP32 chipset? Any other chipset suggestion for better performance?
2. Any reference architecture similar to above would help.
I see there are many examples around which supports IOT devices to be connected over mesh but did not see any reference which lets end user mobile access internet through Mesh Node.
Appreciate any pointers/suggestions.
Thanks
